What does it take to turn a gift for music into a life of your own?
Dorothy loves music, but a gift is only a beginning. In Evelyn Raymond's Dorothy's Triumph, a young violinist's hopes reach beyond school toward the concert stage. School days, loyal friends and small rivalries surround her as she learns what it means to take her talent seriously.
At the heart of this gentle story is a question larger than musical success: how does a girl find her own voice? Dorothy grows through mistakes and the steady work of learning an art. Her ambition gives the story its direction, while friendship makes room for courage and hard truths.

A gift for music shapes a young life
Stories of this kind often begin with a young person who has a talent that sets her a little apart. Here the talent is music, and the title points to a girl named Dorothy whose hopes are tied to it.
A gift alone is rarely enough in such tales. The heroine must learn that skill grows through patience, daily practice and the guidance of people who care about her.
